Walking on floating sphagnum moss...at Ponemah Bog



The Ponemah Bog Sanctuary features a 3-acre pond surrounded by a floating sphagnum mat, all encircled by oak and pitch pine woods. The bog is in a kettle hole created by the retreat of the glaciers.




Classic bog plants such as leatherleaf, bog laurel and tamarack grow here.





You can also find insect-eating plants; pitcher plants, sundews and bladderworts. 


A trail, a boardwalk and a viewing platform allow you to get a close-up view of life in the bog.

We don't have pitcher-plants here except in the local greenhouses! So it was great to see them in the wild. In all the other photos that could easily have been a local nature reserve here in the UK.
